Thumbnails & sprites

Render thumbnails & 360° sprite sheets

One click turns any 3D model into a studio-lit PNG thumbnail or a 360° sprite sheet for product-spin viewers — transparent background included. All in your browser.

GIF embeds anywhere; MP4/WebM are far smaller for the same quality.
Square output. Bigger sizes take longer to render and encode.

Ground shadow
A soft contact shadow under the model — the grounded, product-shot look.

Capabilities

What this tool does

  • Works with GLB, glTF, OBJ, STL, FBX, PLY, DAE, 3MF, VRML, VTK and USD — including Draco/meshopt-compressed glTF.
  • Studio lighting and auto-framing — the model is centered and fits at every rotation angle.
  • 100% in-browser rendering: your model never leaves your device.
  • Transparent backgrounds for GIF, PNG and sprite sheets, or any solid color.
  • Sprite sheets up to 36 frames with a configurable grid — ready for e-commerce 360° spin viewers.

Process

How it works

  1. Drop your modelAny supported format loads locally with studio lighting and auto-framing.
  2. Choose PNG or sprite sheetSingle beauty shot, or a frame grid for 360° spin players.
  3. Download the imageRendered at up to 1080 px per frame, transparent or any color.

Notes

Good to know

  • The turntable shows the model’s static pose — skeletal animations are not played back (yet).
  • Rendering happens on your device, so speed depends on your GPU and the model size.
  • MP4 export needs a browser with WebCodecs (Chrome, Edge, Safari 16.4+, Firefox 130+) — WebM works everywhere.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How do I get a thumbnail image from a GLB or STL file?

Drop the file here, pick PNG, choose a size and background, and press Generate — the render downloads instantly.

What is a sprite sheet used for?

E-commerce 360° spin viewers show one frame at a time from a grid image as the user drags. This tool produces that grid directly from your model.

Can I use a transparent background?

Yes — PNG and sprite sheets support full alpha transparency, ideal for store listings and docs.
